Chapter 567: I want to take you out of the capital
After sitting down, Wei Jin also explained the ins and outs of the matter to Wei Ruo in detail.
It turned out that Wei Jin had already arranged this matter, he installed someone in the palace very early, and took advantage of Qi Concubine's fall from grace, approached Qi Concubine and revealed some things to Qi Concubine:
King Rui's body is so weak now is probably because he was brought out of his mother's womb, and when Queen Xu was in Jing'an Temple, it was likely that she was poisoned, which caused her to die in childbirth, otherwise Queen Xu, the daughter of Jiangmen, has always been healthy, and she should not die of dystocia.
also made Qi Concubine realize that with the fall of the Qi family, King Yu completely lost the position of the prince, and now the emperor's body is not strong, and there is not much time left.
In this way, it won't be long before Chu Lan ascends the throne as the new emperor, and then there will be no way for her and King Yu to live.
This made Concubine Qi have such a reaction when she was summoned by the emperor for interrogation.
Concubine Qi wants to push this matter onto Concubine Hui and let Concubine Hui fall out of favor together, so that she can hit King Jing.
But it is a little difficult to directly push the charge to Concubine Hui, especially now that she is no longer trusted by the emperor.
So she chose to admit it first, and then confessed Concubine Hui as an accomplice, so that her confession was more trustworthy.
There is no eternal enemy in the harem, although she and Concubine Hui have not dealt with each other over the years, but when the emperor favored Queen Xu alone, she and Concubine Hui were both concubines who were left out in the cold, and they were in the same boat.
It was not impossible for the two of them to work together in that situation.
Concubine Qi has connections and methods, and Concubine Hui is one of the few concubines who was trusted by Empress Xu back then, and she is the one who has the opportunity to approach her and poison her.
So her rhetoric is credible.
Qi Concubine knew that this move would send her to the guillotine, but she still chose to do so.
Probably because she knew that even if she tried her best to deny that the matter had nothing to do with her, the emperor might not believe it, and now that her son had lost the opportunity, if she didn't do something, she and her son would be dead.
Rather than losing all at once, it's better to lose both! Maybe she can get a chance to live for her son!
However, in fact, Queen Xu's death in childbirth was not because of poisoning, but simply because Xu Guogong's incident hit her too hard, and she had no strength when she finally gave birth.
The whole thing is a trap that Wei Jin also gave to Concubine Qi, and this trap has started since he first appeared in front of the emperor.
He was weak from the beginning, which made it easier for people to believe that Queen Xu's death was indeed caused by poisoning, which led to Wei Jinyi's congenital deficiencies.
After listening to Wei Jinyi's words, Wei Ruo took some time to digest.
Wei Ruo had long known that Wei Jin would definitely find a way to deal with the concubines in the palace again, but she never knew what method to use.
It's still a little surprising to hear it now, at least in a way she hadn't thought of before.
And this method can not only send Concubine Qi to the point of no return, but even Concubine Hui and Chu Lan will suffer together.
Then Wei Ruo asked again: "What is the situation in the front palace when the second brother leaves?" ”
Wei Ruo speculated that with the emperor's feelings for Empress Xu, things would inevitably not be good, and the second brother could return to the palace so early, probably because the emperor was considerate of his body, and the palace should not stop at this time.
"When I left, the emperor had already sent someone to search for Concubine Hui's bedroom, Concubine Qi had already been roded ten, and the person was lying in the imperial study to continue to be interrogated, and Princess Jing was also beaten by the cane three times, and the person was still in the imperial study and not released." Wei Jin also said.
It seems that the second brother's strategy is very successful.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The second brother was arranged like this, it was to trap Concubine Hui, Concubine Qi, King Jing and King Yu together, both of them were weakened, and the second brother's future will be smooth, and he will not be far from becoming a prince." ”
Wei Jin also stared at Wei Ruo with a serious expression.
After thinking for a while, Wei Jin also said in a deep voice: "If Ruo'er is willing, we can leave the capital together and go to a place away from strife." ”
Wei Ruo was stunned: "You want to take me out of the capital?" ”
She was very surprised, although the second brother had told her that he did not want to fight for the position of prince, she always felt that the situation pushed him step by step in that direction, especially when Chu Lan had a conflict with them, she vaguely felt that they could no longer retreat.
And now, the second brother actually proposed to leave the capital!
"Yes." Wei Jin also replied firmly.
"But things ...... here"
"After the death of Concubine Qi and Qi Yansong, the revenge of my grandfather's family will be avenged, and there is no need for me to continue to stay in the capital." Wei Jin also said.
"That King Jing's ...... over there"
"Before leaving the capital, I will try my best to weaken King Jing's power in the court, so that even if he ascends the throne, he will not have the strength to deal with us. This is also a big reason why I want to pull Concubine Hui into the water this time. ”
Wei Jin had also taken Chu Lan into account a long time ago.
Although the fuse this time was Princess Jing, the move about Concubine Hui had already been arranged, and it was not a temporary idea today.
Wei Ruo recovered from the initial surprise, staring at Wei Jinyi's eyes from surprise to joy and even admiration.
"It's good, it's good. Today's great cause is turbulent, and sitting in that position is an inexhaustible heart. Let others this heart! ”
Wei Ruo couldn't help but start imagining his life after leaving the capital.
Sure enough, there is meat to eat with the second brother!
Wei Ruo couldn't help but praise Wei Jinyi: "Second brother, you are really good!" I'm really getting more and more excited...... I'm more grateful to you. ”
I almost didn't hold my mouth again.
"Hmm." Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo's eyes and saw a bright light in her eyes.
He knew that she was really looking forward to leaving the capital.
That's fine.
"Hey, second brother, I found that you look like a sheep at first glance, but in fact you are a fox, a thousand-year-old fox. Looks like I accidentally released a monster back then. ”
Wei Ruo supported his chin with one hand and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, with a smile between his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Wei Jin also turned his head away.
Wei Ruo couldn't help but pinch Wei Jinyi's face.
"You...... What to do......"
"I want to see if you're still wearing a human skin, otherwise why don't you look like you in front of me quite as you look shrewd?" Wei Ruodao.
"There's no more dummy skin, don't touch it again." Wei Jin also said solemnly, but there was a little unserious red on his serious cheeks.
Wei Ruo stepped forward to look at it and asked with a smile: "Second brother, you won't be shy, right?" ”
The second brother is really easy to be shy, saying that he is a thousand-year-old fox and a demon beast, he can be shy.
I really don't understand, obviously he is so shrewd when he calculates those people in the palace, why is he shy in front of her?
It can't be faked, right?
